Why each option
A physical network diagram documents the actual physical layout of network hardware, including switchport locations, rack positions, and cable runs. It is the document a technician needs to locate and patch specific switchports.
A process diagram illustrates workflow steps or operational procedures, not the physical location of switchports.
A physical network diagram shows the real-world placement of network devices and the physical connections between them, including specific switchport assignments. This is exactly the documentation a technician needs to identify which ports to patch during a network upgrade.
A fiber backbone diagram specifically documents only the high-speed fiber interconnects between major nodes, not individual switchport locations.
A logical topology diagram shows IP addressing schemes and logical relationships between devices, not their physical port assignments.
